Buffalo Forums

I can appreciate not wanting to get SPAM on the forums. But I really, really struggled with trying to figure out the "extra" verification questions. I had no idea what the second word was of most Buffalo products. After trying everything I could think of, I finally googled it. It is NOT obvious if you are new to Buffalo. Station? Has nothing to do with the product I bought...sorry, I think there are easier questions that also would deter spam. Very frustrating...

Glad i dont have to do that. After a certain amount of post you dont have to enter the captcha anymore. Of course you also cant be flagged either. If you want to know a answer to a question keep trying and it will change the question after a few attempts. :D, I know of these answers,

A word for the company: I strongly recommend that you read what people shared about your chosen captcha solution. If folks draw conclusions about your products from how you handled the captcha, you are not doing yourself a service. Even technology needs to pay attention to customer service.

With that said, I am sure that there are great folks at Buffalo, as long as they keep the guy in charge of the captcha in check ;-)..........

haha totally agreethis is ridiculous

If you first time agree than there are no struggled comeing out . Finaly you have been got Buffalo product.

I came up with those questions following recommendations from the SMF admin forums. Generally speaking, bots have most of the simple questions memorized, and can actually Google the question.

Go Google "What the square root of nine plus the square root of four?" verbatim, you'll be surprised at the fact that it can answer them so easily. I'm not even certain these won't be easily cracked. We'll have to see.

That said, someone finally programmed bots to answer my questions, we are getting new ones.

Type in the square root of nine plus the square root of four (spell out the answer)? fiveWhat is the fifth word in the following phrase : "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"? haveType in eighteen minus the square root of forty-nine (spell out the answer)? eleven

Yes that's true sometimes is really hard to read the letters or words from recaptche image, but it's neccessary to finish registration. If you have any problem try to contact Administrator of forum so they can register you manually. That's he best way. Sometimes when forum is not active you won't get any answer from administrator at all
